Compare approximately the speed of sound in air and steel.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The speed of sound in air is nearly 330 `ms^(-1)` and in steel is nearly 5100 m `s^(-1)`. Thus, the ratio of speed of sound in air and steel is
`("Speed of sound in air")/("Speed of sound in steel")`= (330 ms^(-1))/(5100 ms^(-1)) = 1/(15) ` nearly
